According to
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=protosciurus&dt=2014-05-16%2014%3A27%3A58
this did not fix the problem; however, the failure is

! psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
! Is the server running locally and accepting
! connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.57345"?

which shows that this configuration change did not actually have the
desired effect of forcing the regression tests to be run across TCP.
I'm too tired to check into what *would* force that.
